Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It…
The velvet ropes of Project Protect Our Children's Gala Royale swing open to reveal a Monte Carlo inspired evening of elegance, excitement, and purpose, where the stakes couldn’t be higher: protecting our most vulnerable, our children.
From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the thrill of the casino floor and the weight of the mission you’ve accepted. As an honored guest, you are stepping into a world where every move counts, and every dollar raised goes directly towards ending child sex trafficking and exploitation, before it begins.
This isn’t just a glamorous night out, it’s a critical assignment to join forces with other high-stakes changemakers determined to deal a winning hand for the next generation. The countdown has begun, the table is set, the cards are dealt, and the outcome is in your hands.
Place Your Bets on a Brighter Future at Gala Royale!
This is more than a celebration; it’s your chance to go “all in” for prevention. Join us as we honor the winning hands of resilience and leadership shown by our youth and showcase the life-changing impact of our innovative, trauma-informed, community and youth-driven programs.
Your buy-in isn’t just for a seat at the table, it’s an investment in innovative, prevention-focused programs designed to close the critical gaps in education and awareness that allow child trafficking to persist and grow. These programs engage, educate, and empower children, youth, educators, businesses, and community members giving them the tools to recognize red flags, respond effectively, and take action. By equipping students to be advocates, parents and educators to intervene early, and entire communities to unite in prevention, we are creating a powerful, generational movement to end human trafficking at its roots.
When you join us for Project Protect Our Children's Gala Royale, you’re not just playing the game, you’re helping create generational change, one winning hand at a time.
